Hank,
If you cannot get local help with it, I have successfully used the
following technique to remove SMD ICs, and it should work with the diodes.
Push a length of enameled wire (largest gauge that will fit - usually
#26 or #28) under the pin, grasp both ends of the wire, then heat the
lead
Hank,
Sorry that I am not a little closer. However, I recently replaced my diodes
(using the SMT parts .. but the leaded types will install just as easily)
and the only tricky part is getting the old ones off of the board. I
received a lot of advice from the list and the method I found easie

I need a little help with replacing the two SMD diodes in the VSWR circuit.
K3 support has determined, after 4 days of emails, that they are bad - possibly
from a 'nearby lightning strike' - and it's up to me to replace them with 2 new
more robust diodes or pay for having them replaced if I se
